Yes, today is my birthday. I am 14. I have a cake and everything. I was gonna post a gun to concide with this event but unfortunately I couldn't finish it in time. Oh well. *Update* To coincide with my birthday, I will not read any PM unless it has "To his majesty, the Honorable DJ Radio" in the subject line until March 15, 2010, 14 days from now. The only exceptions are staff and replies to PM's I have made before March 1. I'm serious, if you want your PM's read, you have to use that subject line until March 15.

Browsing by Explore->Recent today is returning different results.
Sometimes it's current; other times it begins with projects a few days older. The URLs are identical. Seems to happen almost 50% of the time...

In today's newsletter there's an advert for a credit card reader. Is this the one that fraudsters use to read credit card details from ATMs? If it is, please don't advertise how to do it. regards Deb Morrow

Kits for my m16 will be available by later today. The price is $30.00 plus shipping. Be sure to check KI's store. I'll have a link once its ready. http://www.knexinnovation.net/store/Bakenbitzs_Store.php

We're getting into the habit of hitting you guys with more and more speed contests. The responses that we've been getting have been great and we'd definitely like to keep it up.
So expect one later today!

Just thinking that it would be cool to be able to sort your instructables by 'Views Today'. It would be a quick way to see what project might be causing a spike in views without having to try to run the graph on a lot of instructables at once (which tends to time out).

Last year I posted an instructable on making ornaments out of turkey neck bones. One of the comments was less than glowing. This is mentioned today in an article in WSJ. See "When a turkey's gone..." front page. Sharon Hauser (SharonH)

Today's newsletter email is opening a phishing warning page. My DNS is set to openDNS http://opendns.com The page I am getting is http://phish.opendns.com/main?url=app.streamsend.com/c/12709267/408643/F5lwyeu/Bfu4%3Fredirect_to%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.instructables.com%252Fid%252FUniversal-lamp-shade-polygon-building-kit%252F

I like to keep track of the statistics on my instructables, so I click on "Published" to see how they are doing. There is: Total Views; Rating; and Comments. Would it be possible to add "Today Views" as well, so that you don't have to open up each instructable, and then go to "stats" for this bit of information? Thank you! Cman

Hi, I'm having a lot of issues seeing all steps today. I'm using chrome on win 8.1. When I click on the grid (view all steps) sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and it has stopped displaying ALLSTEPS at the end of the url. I'm not sure if it is connected but I've been looking at instructables for ages without issue, but only signed up yesterday. is the timing related?

I read a few webcomics here and there. One of my favorites is Tree Lobsters!, a four panel comic about arboreal crustaceans with a scientific and skeptical bent. I was pleased this morning after I read today's comic, when I tapped the "Secret Message" button at the bottom of the page and found a brief but amusing reference to the site we all know and love.
